Public mirror of the root distribution contract

Exact distribution status for Codeflow.

The current first-class distribution story is intentionally narrower than the full monorepo: public repo + GitHub Pages front door + one release-proven news_digest proof loop + one read-only stdio MCP surface + starter/local bundle examples.

The current package and discovery layer is real: the live public package and Official MCP Registry entry use Codeflow identifiers for the same read-only MCP runtime, and codeflow-adoption-router is live on ClawHub. MCP.so still has an open external submission receipt, while the previous OpenHands/extensions submission is closed without a live listing. @codeflow/frontend-api-client and @codeflow/frontend-api-contract remain publish-ready but deferred, while @codeflow/frontend-shared remains a workspace-only presentation substrate. Hosted operator service, write-capable MCP, Docker image distribution, and standalone npm releases remain deferred.

This page is the public distribution truth surface for Codeflow. Historical packaging notes and repo-internal release bookkeeping may evolve behind it, but the public claim should stay readable here without sending readers into internal markdown trails.

Shipped now: repo, Pages, first proven workflow, read-only MCP, live Codeflow PyPI + Official MCP Registry entry, ClawHub skill Legacy compatibility: archived Codeflow PyPI + deprecated MCP entry remain reachable while Codeflow stays canonical Starter/example lane: Codex / Claude Code config seeds and the local coding-agent bundle External receipts: MCP.so is still open; OpenHands/extensions is a closed receipt without a live listing Publish-ready but deferred: frontend-api-client and frontend-api-contract; frontend-shared stays workspace-only Deferred: Docker, hosted Render pilot, write-capable MCP, standalone npm releases

Release truth

Latest published release

Latest GitHub release

v0.1.0-alpha.3 is the latest published GitHub Release and the latest public semver tag.

Important boundary

Current main is ahead of the latest release

v0.1.0-alpha.3 is still the latest published prerelease, but it should be treated as a lagging public snapshot until the next tag catches up with main.

Historical boundary

Older release drafts stay archived

The latest published public prerelease is still the GitHub Release for v0.1.0-alpha.3. Older repo-side release drafts remain archived for maintainers, but they are intentionally not part of the active public path.

Canonical MCP contract

The shipped public MCP surface is the repo-owned read-only stdio JSON-RPC server. The shortest official startup path is the wrapper: 

bash /absolute/path/to/Codeflow/scripts/run_codeflow_readonly_mcp.sh

For the machine-readable contract, use configs/mcp_public_manifest.json. For the human quickstart, use the read-only MCP page.

Current distribution matrix

Surface Current status Official claim Install path Protocol / Auth Next action
GitHub repo shipped The public repo is the canonical front door for source, public docs, and examples. xiaojiou176-open/codeflow None Keep the root README short and truthful.
GitHub Pages shipped The public Pages site is the canonical docs front door. Pages front door None Keep first-run and distribution truth aligned with the repo.
First proven workflow shipped news_digest is the only official release-proven public baseline today. First proven workflow guide Repo-local proof loop topic_brief now has a tracked search-backed proof bundle and page_brief now has a tracked browser-backed proof bundle, but news_digest remains the only official first public baseline.
Read-only MCP shipped Repo-owned read-only MCP server for runs, workflows, approvals, compare, proof, and incident summaries. bash /absolute/path/to/Codeflow/scripts/run_codeflow_readonly_mcp.sh stdio JSON-RPC, read-only, no hosted account, no OAuth Keep wrapper + manifest + starter files aligned; do not imply write-capable or hosted MCP.
PyPI package shipped codeflow-orchestrator==0.1.0a4 is the live canonical package for the public read-only MCP runtime. The older codeflow-orchestrator==0.1.0a4 package is now archived on PyPI as a legacy compatibility lane, which keeps the direct package page reachable while removing it from search and blocking new uploads. PyPI package Package install only Keep public docs and starter snippets aligned to the Codeflow install path, and describe the archived Codeflow package as compatibility-only rather than an active front door.
Official MCP Registry shipped The live canonical registry entry uses io.github.xiaojiou176-open/codeflow-readonly. The older io.github.xiaojiou176-open/codeflow-readonly entry still remains reachable, but it is now marked deprecated. Registry entry Registry discovery, stdio package install Keep the repo-side manifest and public MCP docs aligned to the Codeflow registry entry, while describing the older Codeflow entry as deprecated compatibility rather than pretending it is gone or trying to hard-delete it without a supported registry path.
Codex starter starter-only Local Codex-compatible MCP or bundle seed, not an official directory listing. Agent starter kits Local config, stdio MCP Keep receipt language explicit until a real listing exists.
Claude Code starter starter-only Project-local MCP and local --plugin-dir seed, not a marketplace listing. Agent starter kits Local config, stdio MCP Keep wording at starter-only until an official submission receipt exists.
OpenClaw starter starter-only Bundle-compatible local path around OpenClaw; the same adoption-router skill also has a live ClawHub publication. Agent starter kits Local config, stdio MCP Keep it on the adjacent integration side unless a mapped native publish path is shipped and tested.
Coding-agent bundle bundle-compatible Portable local bundle for Codex / Claude Code / OpenClaw-compatible installs. examples/coding-agents/plugin-bundles/codeflow-coding-agent-bundle/ Local bundle metadata + plugin-scoped read-only MCP Keep local-first; do not call it a published listing.
Repo-owned adoption-router skill shipped Cross-tool skill artifact with SKILL.md plus manifest.yaml for Codex / Claude Code / OpenClaw-compatible installs, shared between the public skill packet, the local bundle example, and the published ClawHub skill. public-skills/codeflow-adoption-router/ Repo-owned skill contract, public skill packet plus local bundle example Keep the public packet, repo bundle, and published skill receipts aligned.
ClawHub skill shipped codeflow-adoption-router is live on ClawHub. ClawHub listing Skill registry, no hosted Codeflow account, no write-capable MCP Keep the skill copy aligned with the repo bundle and public boundary.
OpenHands/extensions submission external receipt only The public submission receipt exists, but the tracked PR is closed without merge, so there is no live listing today. OpenHands/extensions#151 Historical external receipt only Do not describe this closed PR as a live or still-pending listing.
MCP.so submission submitted externally The directory submission for the public read-only MCP server is filed. chatmcp/mcpso#1559 Directory intake flow, not live until accepted Keep the issue body aligned with current package and registry truth.
@codeflow/frontend-api-client publish-ready but deferred Thin client helper with a publish-ready manifest, but no public npm release yet. Builder quickstart HTTP API, repo-local preview/apply contract, token story depends on backend Keep the install story honest as clone/workspace reuse or vendor copy until the first npm release exists.
@codeflow/frontend-api-contract publish-ready but deferred Generated contract-facing package with a publish-ready manifest, but no public npm release yet. API quickstart Generated route/query/type contract Keep the install story honest as clone/workspace reuse or vendor copy until the first npm release exists.
@codeflow/frontend-shared not a standalone distribution unit Shared UI copy, locale, and status substrate for Codeflow-owned surfaces. Builder quickstart Frontend-only presentation helpers Keep repo-owned and workspace-only unless a separate reuse story is explicitly promoted later.
Docker image distribution deferred CI Dockerfiles and local infra exist, but there is no public product Docker image distribution claim today. None Container / image story not yet public Add only when container distribution becomes part of the official public contract.
Hosted Render pilot deferred Repo-owned hosted blueprint exists for guarded future pilots; Codeflow is not a hosted operator product today. No public install path today HTTP / token / protected operator flow Keep as future pilot groundwork, not a live hosted claim.
Write-capable MCP deferred Public MCP remains read-only; queue preview or pilot groundwork does not upgrade the public contract. No public install path today Guarded operator-only, default-off Keep outside the public promise until an owner-approved launch contract exists.
